Trainers may seem easy to choose, but differences in fit, materials and cushioning often only become noticeable after several hours of wear. A pair may look appealing but still feel too narrow, offer little ventilation or get dirty quickly. This is particularly frustrating when you wear your trainers every day, cycle to school in them or use them for light sporting activities.
The following pitfalls are common:
Don’t just look at the European size. Also check the stated width, such as D for a regular fit or G for a wider version. Some models include specific sizing advice. For example, Skechers Graceful models and various Arch Fit versions are described as having a roomy fit, with a smaller size recommended.
If in doubt, measure both feet at the end of the day. Compare the longer foot with the product’s size chart. For everyday use, leave a small amount of room around the toes, while ensuring that your heel does not lift as you walk.
Trainers for commuting or long days benefit from a sole that provides sufficient cushioning and flexibility. Look out for:
Sporty trainers for training demand more than casual trainers for shopping or city use. Don’t automatically use lifestyle models for running or other high-impact sports.
Mesh and textile can feel more breathable than fully synthetic materials. Suede and synthetic overlays may help create a sturdier upper, but require suitable care. Check whether the trainers can be cleaned with a damp cloth and whether machine washing is permitted.
For Vans Old Skool models, for example, it is recommended that suede is cleaned with a special brush and canvas is spot-cleaned. Submerging the shoes and machine washing them may affect the adhesive bond and colour. Always follow the manufacturer’s care instructions.

We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Choose a model with a fit that does not pinch, a rubber outsole and sufficient cushioning for your walking routine. For everyday use, casual trainers with mesh, textile or a combination of suede and mesh are often practical. If you spend a lot of time standing or walking, you may want to look for a cushioned midsole or Memory Foam insole.
It varies from model to model. The product information may give different guidance on fit and sizing. Some Skechers models are described as having a roomy fit, while others have a regular fit. New Balance models may also differ in their last and construction. Always check the specific size chart before ordering.
Their lifespan depends on walking distance, surface, body weight, care and use. A pair worn every day will wear out faster than trainers used alternately. Where possible, rotate your shoes, allow them to dry completely and follow the cleaning advice. New Balance products in this selection state a statutory guarantee of at least two years under EU consumer law. This is separate from normal wear and tear caused by use.
